Minnows - Do we need them, do they improve with us?

[Richard]

So? Part of my family ancestry is Dutch, doesn't mean I know the ins and outs of Dutch tennis players of the 1960s.

The only purpose of minnows that i can see is to make us appreciate how good the rest of world cricket is

I am Bangladeshi born, who was brought up in Bangladesh and followed Bangladesh cricket since I was a 5 year old. so I hope you find whatever i had to say about the popularity of cricket in the 1970s and 80s useful and believable.

Oh, I do, certainly. Far more than a Los Angeles-born-and-bred.

Obviously someone who lives in Bangladesh is going to be more useful in discussing how popular something is in Bangladesh than someone who lives in LA...

Well he lives in Canada...but not the case, i said the same thing and he dismisses it like i don't know anything. I do cause im a outgoing person and i talk to anyone and learn a lot of stuff like that plus i read a lot of articles to know about cricket. So to treat me like that because where i'm from is prejudice....

He did live in Bangladesh though. You aren't being discriminated - it's just obvious that someone who lived in Bangladesh would know how popular something was there. Similarly, if we wanted to know how popular something was in LA, we'd trust your posts over his...

 

[LA ICE-E]

its not that is how he said it though,

I mean come on there's got to be a better way to say it. Like you did. He said things like this before to something like- "i have a problem with people like you from the US of A and something something". But would like to leave it at that there's better way to say it than how it was said..

I'm as touchy as you are about the mild anti-American bias within some parts of CW, but I don't think Richard said anything offensive. He's not really like that tbh.

I'm a great lover of the minnows (or associates as some people like to be correct). There was just a few too many at this current World Cup though.

 

[LA ICE-E]

well may be one too many but that's all. But bermuda has the home support. its their national sport so, they will get some better players in the future.

What's Ponting doing in a suit? And with american flags around? Is this some new "mental disintegration" policy from Buchanan?

To which you'd better add my five-year-old who, when confronted with some footage of Dubwa on the telly asked me "why is that man in the circus?" Out of the months of infants ....
